We started the session using a technique called 'wax-resist', this is where you draw using wax then paint over the drawing with Indian ink to reveal the image drawn in wax. This is an example:

| Wax-resist effect. |
Next we moved onto graphite rubbings where we used textured areas to create varied effects. Examples below:
 |
| These effects are good examples of textured areas that have a irregular relief. |
 |
| This page shows how 3D text can create a very stylized effect when using the technique. Also featured on this page are key holes and light switches which give similar effects of depth shown. |
 |
| Here are some interesting effects captured from the sole of my shoes, grids, fossils and rope. |
 |
| After creating these rubbing I scanned the outcomes. This scan shows an inverted style which has been shaken as it scanned to create this wobbly distorted effect. |
 |
| This was the inverted image I used to create the image above. |
Using the original image I replaced the colour of the rubbings with magenta to add some vibrant effects to the fairly mom-toned technique.
After getting these images scanned and printed I went on to create 6 collage compositions using the scans ripped up. I experimented with adding different colours together, repetition, overlap and many other effects.
 |
| This was the first collage I made, it explores ideas of overlay, refection, repetition and composition using the scanned rubbings. |
 |
| This is the last collage I made which used what I had left over to create this composition which I feel gives a punk effect with the rips and contrast of colours. |
